One man was shot Saturday afternoon during a fight near the Lucky Mart in Gray that involved nearly 100 people, authorities said.

Deputies responded to calls about the fight near Bayou Blue Road and West Park Avenue about 2:30 p.m., Terrebonne Parish Sheriff Jerry Larpenter said. When deputies arrived, they heard multiple rounds of gunfire.

While searching for the source of the gunfire, participants in the fight began to scatter, the sheriff said. One man, a 23-year-old from Schriever, fell to the ground with a gunshot wound to the buttocks area.

Witnesses said there had been a large party with more than a hundred people attending, according to the Sheriff's Office. Witnesses told deputies that several people arrived and allegedly began an argument with partygoers, and several people began firing at each other.

The victim was transported to a local hospital where he underwent surgery, authorities said. He is expected to recover from his injury.

An investigation is ongoing. If anyone has any information about the shooting, contact the Terrebonne Sheriff's Office at 876-2500 or Crimestoppers at 1-877-903-STOP. You could receive a reward.
